10 Things We Learned From The Post-WrestleMania Smackdown Live!
1. #SmackdownAfterMania
Now that WWE have taken complete ownership of the post-WrestleMania Monday Night Raw crowd, there seemed a renewed vigour from the Smackdown Live! crowd determined to make this show their own instead.
In truth, the fan service from the organisation was far superior to what Raw delivered anyway.
Consideration was shown for audience members that may have viewed around six consecutive days of live professional wrestling by this point, with the show subsequently kept featherlight.
However, with the aforementioned debuts or returns for Erick Rowan, Tye Dillinger and Shinsuke Nakamura, the babyface turn of AJ Styles and a blood-and-thunder rematch that should have occurred at WrestleMania, there was much to be grateful for on a loaded farewell to Orlando ahead of several potentially huge roster changes next week.
Should WWE choose to maintain the model of the extra long weekend in cities following the 'Showcase of the Immortals', they can consider this maiden attempt a rousing success.
